Repentance is the Proper Motion of the New Creature

Summary

Elder Dan Sammons preaches on the doctrine of repentance as the proper response of the new creature in Christ, emphasizing total depravity and the necessity of sovereign grace for salvation. Using Psalms 53, 32, and 51, he illustrates the conviction of sin and the restoration of fellowship with God through repentance. He highlights that repentance is an ongoing motion under the instruction of God's truth, essential for maintaining fellowship with God, not for earning salvation. The sermon also contrasts self-righteousness with the sinner's recognition of need for a Savior, referencing John the Baptist and Jesus' call to repent for the kingdom of heaven is near.
